AceShowbiz - Lewis Capaldi recalled getting "freaking out" after taking medically prescribed cannabis oil. Prescribed the oil by a doctor to help battle his anxiety, the 25-year-old singer/songwriter admitted taking the medicine was "intense" and left him hearing voices.

"I've started taking this cannabis oil. I got it medically prescribed to help with my anxiety," he said when speaking on Instagram Live. "I'd never tried it before but it has THC in it. I took the second drop as prescribed and I freaked the f*** out."

I don't do that kind of stuff and I absolutely freaked. I was in my room by myself and I was hearing things. I thought I could hear voices. I had to search YouTube videos to find out what to do if you've taken too much cannabis oil. It was mad. It was f****** intense."

Lewis also revealed that he is trying to live a healthier lifestyle in order to cope with his fame. He said, "That is just my life. I am eating salads. I am just trying to get the mind and body right. That oil is no joke though. I didn't know you could get high off it. I felt absolutely nuts."

Lewis recently opened up about his anxiety and panic attacks, admitting that he relied on his mother to calm him down. He said, "If I'm having a panic attack there's nobody else that can help me out of it except my mum, for sure."

"My mum has had to sleep in my bed as recently as a month ago because of how bad my anxiety got at one point. But I think that was alcohol related to be honest, I had been on a bit of a bender."
